Patient's question:
My son is only 12 years old, but he has already shown signs of development. He is 157 cm tall, his voice has become deeper, and he has developed acne. Bone age testing indicates he is already 13 years old. I am truly desperate. I sincerely request guidance from the experts.Doctor's answer:
For children with precocious puberty, you first need to explain the reasons. If the diagnosis is true precocious puberty, medication to suppress gonadal initiation is required to help the child reach a normal height. You can choose between Trebrin or leuprolide. This medication is relatively expensive. Generally, it is administered once a month by injection. During the medication period, it is necessary to check growth hormone and thyroid function. At the same time, it is important to ensure proper nutrition, consuming more protein and vitamin-rich foods, and appropriately supplementing with calcium. It is best to avoid eating seasonal vegetables or fruits and to avoid consuming hormone-containing foods.
